Film
including (after other locations) stevedores unloading grain
at Irvine in 1901

We plan in due course to document other industries of
the harbour area, eg:

The Tar works - there for a long time
- at the back, to landward, of the Blue Billy

Brown's Foundry (any link to Geprge Brown,
Provost?) - he lived at Ivybank and was known as 'Foundry Brown'.

Walker's Chemical Works on Portland Road, where the pumphouse
is today - closed in the early 1950s 'medieval' (Joyce, Irvinite) no
health & safety - her father worked there - no masks - furnaces
- ICI took it over.
